USB Printer detection and "Port"
by Guest CecilWard- 0 replies
- 51 views
Three questions: (1) Does anyone have any idea how to get Windows 7 to add a USB printer? In Add Printer the only options are "Add a Local Printer" (which states that this is not to be used for a USB Printer) or add Network Printer (which this is not). So therefore there's no way to add a USB printer at all. :-) And since Windows 7 doesn't detect the HP LaserJet 1320 that's plugged into a USB port then there's nowhere to go. (2) What does it mean to "Add a printer port" and give it a name when there's no way of specifying which hardware the "printer port" is connected to? (3) Windows 7 seems happy to let you simply add a "Local Port" and give it some name, and…

Persistent Win32/Vobius.CF Infection -- cannot remove
by Guest DaChieftain- 0 replies
- 163 views
I have a persistent issue with a worm infection (Win32/Vobfus.CF). It defies all attempts at being removed: indeed, most virus scanners (AVG, ThreatFire, Norton) do not detect it. Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, however, does -- as does the Microsoft Security Scan. And, occasionally on reboot, it attempts to place an invalid .DLL into a directory, which it creates using Admin privileges (C:\Program Files (x86)\BEARSH~2\MEDIABAR\DATAMNGR\X64\ ) I have followed the removal suggestions on the Microsoft Encyclopedia Entry carefully, to no avail. Can anyone please provide further insight/suggestions -- short of re-installing the operating system (which I a loat…

Windows 7 updates same group of KB's every time.
by Guest Bronso- 0 replies
- 183 views
I have recently purchased a new anit-virus software that required Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed. I check and see that I do not have it on my system. I then begin the long updating process via Automated updates. Every day it says there are new updates, so I install them, and then informs me my system is up-to-date. However, the next day, informs me of more updates, and I have noticed though doing so, that the same batch of update KB's keep popping up even after I have already installed them. (see image below). How can I fix this issue, and after that, how can I ensure that my system is up to date with all windows updates (and service pack)? [attach=full]5392[/a…
